- lm28469 5y agoLol I don't think any environmental group would argument that. More like there will be no green future with personal vehicles, electric or not.
- EthanHeilman 5y agoI think you are straw-manning environmental groups here. It seems reasonable to have personal vehicles without climate change or other environmental damage.
- lm28469 5y ago> It seems reasonable to have personal vehicles without climate change or other environmental damage. If you sell it like that sure... afaik no one has found the solution to that equation, and lithium powered 2 tonnes metal cages transporting 1.4 person (on average) doesn't seem like a good fit to solve it. Sounds like a very inefficient way to do it actually. It's much more complex than "electric -> green -> good"
- Udik 5y agoThe problem is that there are groups that, given ~A => B, would argue both against A and against B.
- imtringued 5y agoInstead of trying to achieve a perfect ideal you should first find a solution that can get everyone on board. Replacing ICEs with EVs is just one step of many but it's the most agreeable solution over the short term. It's already difficult enough to get people to care about the environment at all.
- imtringued 5y agoI'll be honest. Nobody cares about Africa (or South America). Everyone only cares about the starving children there. So we send them food and clothes to clear our conscience. Problem solved.
